About

Howick Historical Village is a living museum in Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga, Auckland, New Zealand. It is a recreation of a New Zealand colonial village between the years 1840 and 1880, focusing on the history of the Royal New Zealand Fencible Corps, and the local European and Māori history of Howick and Pakuranga and the surrounding areas of East Auckland. Established in 1980 by the Howick & Districts Historical Society, the village has grown to include over 33 historic buildings, including three which are listed on the Heritage New Zealand historic place register.
